When I checked for a firmware upgrade this morning, the response was the current version on the v.1 router (3.0.0.4.388_23012-g1166fba) was the most current. However, the most current firmware for my two v.1 nodes is version 3.0.0.4.388_23285-g5068da5. This is the first time the firmware version...

Has the UK become a nation of snitches?

Hmmm... No indication on my XT8 GUI webpage that an update is available. I have v.1 units. Is this update for v.2 units?

I'll second the above. Since upgrading to 22068, the 2 nodes on my vanilla XT8 network have suffered poor connection quality or intermittently dropped off line altogether for no apparent reason. At first, I blamed my ISP, Spectrum, for being unable to deal with the unseasonably cold weather...

You're technically right that the answer is correct, much like it's correct to say the sun will rise in the east tomorrow.

Snarkman!! Welcome back!

Based on previous experience, any idea as to when Asus might issue a new official firmware with the corrected features in the latest beta? My guess is early July, but that may be too optimistic.

So the takeaway is to wait for the official version and hope that it remains as stable as the beta?:rolleyes:

It looks like there are two flavors of XT8 firmware available for me to upgrade to: 3.0.0.4.386.48706 ("Official") and 9.0.0.4.386.48966 ("Beta"). Can anyone explain in non-technical terms whether one is preferable to the other? I'm not sure I understand the difference between them, and I'd like...

@sowen, Thanks for your insight and words of encouragement - these issues can be a bit daunting, but learning is mostly fun! I have one question: are you backing up your drive as well as syncing folders with Synology Drive Client? if you are, I am doing things slightly differently - I backup...

Update to my previous post above: I did not downgrade but I disabled the Roaming Assistant feature from both nodes of my Asus ZenWiFi mesh system (on both the 2.4 and 5 Ghz channels) and uninstalled the Synology Drive Client from both my desktop and laptop machines. With fingers crossed, I...

I'd like to add my voice to this growing chorus. I am running firmware 3.0.0.4.386_45934 in a two-unit XT8 mesh arrangement with wireless backhaul. The remote node communicates with the router wirelessly. I have a Synology NAS connected to the remote node by ethernet. I also have a PC connected...

OK, I know I've seen this topic before - I just can't find it after a forum search. I have a pair of XT8's running the 45898 firmware, with a blinking light telling me the new firmware, 45934, is available. I've decided to give the new version a go, and in the past have just hit "upgrade...

I use the Brave browser, which is Chrome-based on my desktop and laptop. Brave, like Chrome, saves both my username and password for the Asus web GUI, but only works, as I said with the desktop. I'll try to reset both units to factory defaults and see if it clears the issue up.

I have a similar issue with my 2 unit XT8 mesh system running the latest (45898) firmware. My desktop PC is wired to the single node I have, and I can access the Web GUI from it with no problem using the same username/password credentials I use for the Asus app. However, when I try to sign into...
